Why would it? its a totally different platform.
Daft question.
I have a broken glove box and bought a b8 one via eBay without checking.
Why would it? its a totally different platform.
Daft question.
how was that a daft question ?
he doesnt know so he asked
he got the answer he needed.
I just had mines replaced, the bottom left hand hinge had snapped. it turns out that the plunger that attaches to the hinge fails (too much vacuum which stops it moving easily) He drilled a small hole in the back of the plunger which will stop any further issues.
I repaired my broken hinge, then strengthened both hinges with some metal brackets and also drilled a hole in the end of the damper too which makes it move a little easier.
This is the best guide I have come across on how to fix yet another Audi latent design defect;

Thanks for that. I've always wondered why my glove compartment opens so slowly!
Drilling a vacuum relief hole in the end of the piston/cylider damper on my own vevicle did nothing. I ended up taking the damper apart and rubbing down the seal on the piston to make it easier to open and close and now my glove box opens and closes just fine.
